  • ""If we expose students to a study of human suffering, we have a responsibility to guide them through it. But is this the role of school history? Is the rationale behind teaching the Holocaust primarily historical, moral or social? Is the Holocaust to be taught as a historical event, with a view to developing students' critical historical skills, or as a tool to combat continuing prejudice and discrimination? These profound questions lie at the heart of Lucy Russell's fascinating analysis of Teaching the Holocaust in school history. She considers how the topic of the Holocaust is currently being taught in schools in the UK and overseas. Drawing on interviews with educationalists, academics and teachers, she discovers that there is in fact a surprising lack of consensus regarding the purpose of, and approaches to, teaching the Holocaust in history. Indeed the majority view is distinctly non-historical; there is a tendency to teach the Holocaust from a social and moral perspective and not as history. This book attempts to explain and debate this phenomenon."--Page 4 of cover."
  • "Teaching about the Holocaust is one of the most important things teacher can do. It is also one of the most challenging. Drawing on the experience of a multidisciplinary team of educators, Teaching the Holocaust provides a thought-provoking guide to Holocaust education, showing what problems are involved, what has been achieved, what resources are available and what possibilities there are. Providing insights into Holocaust education in England, the United States, Poland and Germany, this book provides the analysis, guidance and information teachers require to teach this subject with confidence."
